It should be borne in mind that a number of the members of the “Circus” (Keynes’s friends and followers at Cambridge) and associates of the “Circus Generation” were not strictly speaking Post Keynesians, but precursors or Neoclassical Synthesis Keynesians. And no doubt there are bound to be omissions and errors.

Michal Kalecki (1899–1970) represents an important second influence on later Post Keynesianism.

This is FANTASTIC stuff, thank you for the list and to Ivan for the note above. I would like to add two things:

1) I am facinated to learn more about MMT, and have read many articles, but still can't figure it out except that adherents to theory seem to believe that a government can never go broke if it controls its own currency and that it can print as much money as it wants.

2) Second, he is not an economist, but this chap Cullen Roche writes this blog - www.pragcap.com. It is extremely popular, and seems to be one of the leading MMT blogs out there going back several years. Its intreresting, but as mentioned, still really hard to figure out!

1. Its a misrepresentation of MMT to say we can print as much as we like, its more complex than that.

2. Although I love pragcap and Cullen is a nice guy he is not MMT (at least anymore...best let that can of worms stay closed but hes definately post keynesian)shame really his primer was really good but now changed.

Yep, John and Wendy Cornwall are also great. Their book Capitalist Development in the Twentieth Century is an essential reading. Link here http://books.google.com.ar/books?hl=en&lr=&id=Y6I65Z6n1FIC&oi=fnd&pg=PP1&dq=Cornwall++Wendy&ots=ItrVidpXaE&sig=7E21zkpmYB2w44i59i0NQKnySnk&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q&f=false

Several have more than one hat (I think, maybe I'm wrong only Kregel appears in two). Ed Nell, for example, could be also in Later Post Keynesians (he was a student of Hicks in the 1960s at Oxford), or in American Post Keynesians. Beyond Alan Isaac, and Robert Blecker, as cited above, Fernando Carvalho, Sergio cesaratto, Jane D'Arista, Amittava Dutt, Jerry Epstein, James Galbraith, Ilene Grabel, John Harvey, Eckhard Hein, Alex Izurieta, Will Milberg, Gary Mongiovi, José Antonio Ocampo, Esteban Pérez, Ingrid Rima, Jaime Ros, bob Rowthron, Franklin Serrano, Lance Taylor, Leonardo Vera would also enter my list (I'm sure there are many more that I'm leaving out). no list can be complete, and all lists must exclude somebody I know. Great list anyway. Thanks.

Jan said: I will add to the list Professor William Vickrey at Columbia,1996 awarded the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics.Although he worked over many field in economics he defined him self as Post Keynsian as well as a Georgist.One of his last papers in life,1996 is a classic defence of the demand side economics against the at that time dominant deficit hawks,well worth reading still today http://www.columbia.edu/dlc/wp/econ/vickrey.htm Fifteen Fatal Fallacies of Financial Fundamentalism: A Disquisition on Demand Side Economics

Dean Baker uses IS-LM models, which indicates he might be a little more towards the neoclassical side than was once thought (Steve Keen regards him as a New Keynesian). However, based on my email correspondence with him, he regards the endogenous money model as accurate (but believes that controlling interest rates still has a major effect). And he is also open to the idea of a debt jubilee, indicating that he is at least somewhat attentive to the effects of excessive private debt on aggregate demand.

So Baker is more Post-Keynesian than Krugman, but still maybe leans toward the NK side.
